Bernard Hopkins was 0-1 at some point. You never know with these guys.

Other examples include Henry Armstrong, Alexis Arguello, Billy Conn, and Mike Weaver. The odds are slim that James Wade will ever become a champion, though.

Even if he turns out to be tough, he's still an entry-level fighter who was KOed in his first bout, which is why he was matched up with Kimbo. I hope he wins so the boxing community will use it as an example of why MMA sucks, and that will amuse me.

"Mental stability would have had [Weston] think twice about his wishes to fight a street certified, cage tested, and boxing ring ready Kimbo Slice."

Shaw also jabbed, "Kimbo is Nic Cage famous ... and Weston's 15 minutes are up."

Tough talk aside, the rep says Kimbo's happy to fight Weston ... but only in a boxing ring.

Now, keep in mind Jared Shaw is not necessarily the best judge of mental stability. While most people know Jared Shaw as the son of well known boxing promoter Gary Shaw, he also moonlights as $kala, a straight from the streets rapper:

Son of Legendary Boxing Promoter Gary Shaw , Jared Ryan Shaw is a survivor of Open-Heart surgery, & a Poet for the Wows & Woes of Romance. He has a knack for speaking the truths and inconstancies of love and relationships .. a mouthpiece for what woman want and how they feel, he takes to the platform of stage and sound to reach hearts and ears alike.

This made me think of Metalaccolypse where they were all drunk riding the murdercycle and Murderface falls off it... After comming to a stop from sliding down the street on his face he's lying there stiff with blood pooling up under his head and piss pooling around his shorts... I bet Wade knows exactly how that felt.
